Glendale, AZ – Cristian Ramos Killed in Car Accident at 51st Ave & Peoria Ave
Glendale, AZ (November 11, 2019) – A man is dead and a woman has been arrested after a serious crash Sunday night in Glendale.
According to officials from the Glendale Police Department, the accident happened on 51st Avenue, just south of Peoria Avenue, around 8:50 p.m. The driver, later identified as 24-year-old Evangelina Elizabeth Lara, was passing vehicles at a high rate of speed when she lost control, causing her to hit a residential block wall.
The male passenger, identified as 25-year-old Cristian Ramos, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Lara was transported to a local hospital, where she was treated for her injuries.
Police believe both speed and impairment were factors in the crash, and Lara is now facing felony charges for reckless manslaughter. The accident remains under investigation at this time.
We would like to offer our condolences to the family of Cristian Ramos.
